Modulating the Swelling Behavior of Polymer Brushes via Interfacial Chemistry
Modulating substrate surface chemistry of surface‐grafted polymer brushes via variation of the chemical composition of spacers that anchor initiators for surface‐initiated atom transfer polymerizations allows to tune swelling of these thin polymer films.

ABSTRACT Cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) is usually grown for its high galactomannan content as an industrial crop. Young edible cluster bean pods are also eaten as a nutritious vegetable in many areas. There is little research on the effects of drought on pod yield or the nutritional content of edible cluster bean pods, even with the growing

Assessing GNSS Reflectometry for High‐Latitude 3D Ionospheric Imaging
Abstract This study investigates whether Global Navigation Satellite System Reflectometry (GNSS‐R) measurements from low‐Earth‐orbit (LEO) satellites can improve three‐dimensional (3D) ionospheric electron density imaging, with a focus on high‐latitude regions. Conventional ionospheric tomography is limited by sparse ground‐based receiver coverage over

The occupation of d-orbitals controls the magnitude and anisotropy of the inter-atomic electron transfer in transition metal oxides and hence exerts a key influence on their chemical bonding and physical properties. Atomic-scale modulations of the orbital occupation at surfaces and interfaces are believed to be responsible for massive variations of the

Microsecond X‐ray reflectometry
X‐ray reflectometry is accelerated to 213 µs net exposure time using galvanometer scanning, which enables unprecedented temporal resolution for studying dynamic thin‐film processes.We accelerate synchrotron X‐ray reflectometry (XRR) by more than an order of magnitude and demonstrate the acquisition of full reflectivity curves within 213 µs over a qz ...

We demonstrate a Fisher‐information‐based strategy for optimizing the solid substrate structure in polarized neutron reflectometry experiments on soft‐matter samples. The approach identifies magnetic reference layer designs that improve experimentally accessible information and provides a general framework for more efficient reflectometry experiment ...

Grazing‐incidence scattering surveyed: towards reference methods for alignment and calibration
With the recent gain in popularity of grazing‐incidence instruments, harmonization is needed to establish intercomparability. This review of existing instruments and methods highlights the diversity of approaches in the community and is a first step towards reference methods.Grazing‐incidence small‐angle scattering (GISAS) is a relatively young ...

Fine‐root trait variation in temperate trees follows arc‐shape pattern along deep soil profiles
Root trait variation along the soil depth profile in four temperate tree species. Summary Roots are plants' interface with the soil, controlling access to water and nutrients. Yet, fine‐root trait variation along deep soil profiles and its functional implications remain poorly understood.
